Common questions You can get answers to common questions. Solve problems easily by setting shooting options.

The subject's eyes

appear red. This is caused by a reflection from the camera flash.

Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 43)

If the photo has already been taken, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 78)

Photos have dust spots. Dust particles floating in the air may be captured in photos when using the flash.

Turn off the flash or avoid taking photos in a dusty place.

Set ISO speed options. (p. 44)

Photos are blurred. This may be caused by taking photos in low light conditions or holding the camera incorrectly.

Press [ Shutter] halfway down to make sure the subject is focused. (p. 26)

Use the

dmode. (p. 33)

This can make it difficult to steady the camera and may result in camera shake.

Select Night in thes mode. (p. 32)

Turn on the flash. (p. 43)


Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.

Subjects come out

too dark because ofbacklighting.

When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between the light and dark

areas, the subject may come out shaded. Avoid shooting in front of the sun.

Select Backlight in thes mode. (p. 30)

Set the flash option to Fill in. (p. 43)

Adjust the exposure. (p. 53)

Set the Auto Contrast Balance ( ACB) option. (p. 54)
